Ordinary

I'm working on Sunday this morning (I know, it's my day off - and yes, this is way to normal these days). As I sit here this morning looking ahead, I am filled with hope. I serve a great God and great people at Faith. This weekend's message has taken a turn in a direction that I did not expect, but understand on a variety of levels. Though I've never taught on this weekend's specific subject, as I prepare I'm reminded of God's goodness in our lives and how recognizing that fact make a huge difference.

The best is yet to come if our lives are in sync with the Spirit...

I'm doing the ordinary today as I look ahead to the extraordinary on Sunday. I'm changing over the laundry in a moment (yes men - "man up" when you're at home - she'll love you for it). I'm also headed to Costco and working on the garage before this afternoons trip to Redmond for baseball. All pretty "normal" stuff. And yet all of these thing create a platform for possibilities to happen. The hard part is being so overwhelmed by the ordinary that I can see the extraordinary.

Tired of going through the motions? Absolutely! Excited about what can happen when I "get the bases covered" and get to focus on life-giving activities.

Oh yes!
